FAQ
Will it make the room dark?
Not with Clear, which lets through 86% of visible light. Tinted panels cut more light and heat, so choose by aspect and how much shade the customer wants.
Best tint for a hot west-facing window?
Platinum. It lets through the least heat of any tint (16%) and has the lowest solar heat gain coefficient (0.327).
How far can it project?
Up to 1600 mm from the wall. Larger projections need posts and are supplied as a patio cover.
Can it go over a sliding door?
Yes. Two arms are standard. A third arm can be added on wide spans where there is a solid fixing point, but it can't be fixed in the middle of a sliding door.
Can it cover a home battery or switchboard?
Yes. Lumaline keeps rain and direct sun off wall-mounted equipment. Check the equipment manufacturer's clearance requirements before installing.
How is it cleaned?
Rinse with a hose and wash with mild soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and solvents.
What warranty applies?
Laserlite warrants the panel against loss of light transmission for 5 years.
